Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang returned to training while waiting for missions.

A couple of days later, Shang got a mission, but it was just a small one with nearly no reward.

Over the next couple of months, Shang only got smaller missions from time to time, but that wasn't too surprising. These hugely lucrative missions to kill an entire gatherer family were rare. After all, there were not that many gatherer families in the territory.

Sadly, there wasn't much he could do.

He just continued doing these small missions while refining his World Connection.

"I have a mission for you."

Shang put his sword away and stepped out of the training room.

Trapper was nowhere to be seen, which probably meant that he was tracking his next target.

The Keeper was currently sitting with her back to Shang, but she wasn't alone.

"I am the one responsible for these missions!" House Wife shouted at the Keeper from behind. "I'm the stealthiest Mage in this branch!"

'Seems like my mission is very lucrative if even House Wife is arguing this much with the Keeper,' Shang thought.

"That might be the case," the Keeper said. "However, can you kill a Mid Archmage?"

House Wife just furrowed her brows. "I can," she said.

"Can you kill a Mid Archmage before they can contact an Enforcer?" the Keeper asked.

"If I get them with their Mana Shield deactivated, yes," House Wife said.

"Alright," the Keeper said. "Can you stay hidden when you and your target are the only humans around for over ten kilometers?"

House Wife snorted. "That's impossible. The best a Mage can do is to seem as unremarkable as possible, but we still look and feel like humans. No matter how unremarkable you look, when you're the only other human around, you're bound to be noticed."

"Then you are not the right person for the mission," the Keeper said.

"But then the mission is impossible to complete!" House Wife shouted. "We can't just follow one person in the wilderness without being noticed by their Spirit Sense."

"This mission is- AH!"
